Hi, I am a believer in Manifest Destiny, simply because I believe God is "All Powerful" and so nothing can happen against his will. The fact that the new world society did spread to the Pacific coast makes the concept of Manifest Destiny spouted in the early days of USA expansion a fulfilled concept. That is, for people who believe in an All Powerful God. I understand that for non-believers its just politics as usual.

Obviously during the Indian/American wars individuals took that concept as licence and authority to commit evil, heinous acts based solely on bigotry. That doesn't make God evil or nullify the concept of All Powerful. Because God does not stop human beings from committing evil acts does not make those acts good, or against his will. His will is that we should have free will and atone for our actions on judgement day. How else would it be fair to throw some people's butts to the fire.
